If anyone is curious: Zero sleep becomes life threatening after a week.
Edit: About 60 hours in you may start to hallucinate. I can also confirm this from personal experience.

Probably less than a week for many, also consider you're much more likely to doze off and trip/fall/be negligent near dangerous stuff like roads well before a week.
Sleep.
True. I am talking about death directly from sleep deprivation, tho.
In high school once we had a 5 day DnD marathon where some of us only slept a couple hours total. By the end I was hallucinating the minis moving around the board on their own among other things. Only things we ate were energy drinks and microwaved tortillas with cheese. I don't remember a lot of it. I suspect doing that again in my 30s could actually kill me if for no other reason than the massive amounts of caffeine we were chugging
Sounds like a fun time tbh
Hecc phantoms, all the homies hate phantoms
There's no holy water in Minecraft? How do I trigger Buffy to spawn?
I have been awake for four and a half days due to bi-polar-induced insomnia. It’s physically painful.
I had no idea why I only see phantoms rarely. Nice.
